Veteran NFL safety Taushaun Gipson — who played in the recent Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers — has been suspended by the league for six games. 
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that Gipson, 34, has been suspended after violating the league’s guidelines on performance-enhancing drugs.
Gipson is a free agent after two years spent in the Bay. He played in the 49ers’ losing effort against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58, recording just five tackles.
